What to do with the Cylon head box?
The Battlestar Galactica DVD series comes in a big Cylon head box. It looks like a lot of effort went into designing and manufacturing the box, and it will probably look cool sitting on the shelf in the retail stores. But nothing screams “Nerd! Nerd! Nerd!” more than having a big Cylon head box in your living room.
At Amazon.com, one of the features listed for the DVD series is the “Collectible "Cyclon Head” Packaging Featuring a Lenticular Red Eye” Is this box really the kind of thing I want to collect? I might consider collecting a genuine Cylon head that they used to film the original series (although I’m not sure I’d even have room to display it), but I don’t see the point of collecting a cardboard box.
I’m considering throwing the thing out. I bought the DVDs so I could watch them. Not to own a Cylon head box. Does anyone out there have any suggestions for me?
